Shark Bites - A Throwdown Thursday Production

This week Patsy has the honor and privilege to interview author Defne Suman and discuss her newest book, The Silence of Scheherazade. Patsy and Defne discuss the differences and startling similarities that the United States and Turkey have in common when it comes to how history is taught in schools, as that is the very subject of the opening of her book. They also discuss the inspiration for the story and characters, the immense amount of research that needed to be done, and the personal connection she had to not only the subject matter but the characters and the meaning behind the name of the book's titular character! All this and more on this week's episode!

Shark Bites is back again, and I've got another awesome author interview to share with you! This week I bring you Timothy Miller, and his debut novel, The Strange Case of Eliza Doolittle! We discuss his inspiration, questionable life choices (chasing a man who had a gun through Nawlins for example), life in Milan helping him create art, his lifetime of travels and interesting things he's seen, and what's next! Plus a shark fact (I hope it's a new one) and a preview of what's coming up for Shark Bites in the future!

Pick up the book from your preferred retailer here:

Synopsis:

Posing as a rich American gangster, Holmes infiltrates the Higgins household. He meets Freddy, a seemingly ubiquitous suitor, and the mysterious Baron Von Stettin, Bavarian attaché. He brushes up against a doctor whose potions can turn Eliza from a spitfire into a kitten. And he faces a deadly enemy who had been thought dead for twenty years. The world of Sherlock Holmes will never be the same."

This week I am joined by a whole slew of independent creators that are joining me to discuss their various projects! From filmmakers to comic creators to podcasters and dollmakers, this episode has it all! To help support the folks on this episode, and to find out more about their projects, click the links below! Because of the length of the episode, you get your shark fact right here! The oldest shark ever discovered was a Greenland shark believed by scientists to be 512 years old! This would put its birth in 1508. To put that in perspective, William Shakespeare was born in 1564.

This week I am joined by talented creator Addison Binek to discuss his Kickstarter for Roastmasterpiece theater! He is raising money to license two films in order to continue his passion for loving tributes to Mystery Science Theater 3000! Addison has done over 120 episodes of his series "Movies to Watch on a Rainy Afternoon" (https://www.youtube.com/user/JABproducts) in which he takes films and boils them down to 15-20 riff-and-skit-filled minutes for your viewing pleasure! Armed with his friends/writing partners/voices of the puppets, they also did two episodes of Tromasterpiece Theater in which Lloyd Kaufman chose two Troma films for them to riff on! Please go support Addison's Kickstarter, the proceeds of which will go to license two more films for the guys to riff on! There are a lot of great perks, and only a short time left to get in on them! The Kickstarter ends at 3pm Eastern on July 1!
